I am a reincarnation player.

Energy saving?

A somewhat strange code name. Yuki deliberately suppressed his guess and did not make eye contact with the other party. He only raised his head when he heard the murmur of [Contract Established].

"This turns a four-way game into a three-way brawl."

Myself, the Black Sword, and the Church, the dungeon finally became simple, like the clouds clearing and the sun appearing.

"But we are still the weakest. Those two 'ordinary people' can survive the dungeon without any mission evaluation at most." The thief reminded.

Identity cues are relevant to task evaluation and are not mandatory.

Yuki had known this for a long time, but he didn't want to just get a B or C rating for the entire dungeon.

The same goes for those two. Veteran players won't just sit there and do nothing.

"They will definitely find a way to kill us. Now it's the four of us against the entire Yaduo Town. The advantage is in their hands." Yuki answered confidently, and suddenly changed the subject:

"Whether we can make a comeback depends on how much practical experience you have."

Originally, Yuki was not very confident, and was even prepared to try his best to survive first, but now it was different. The thief had stayed in the church for a whole day and night and had the information he urgently needed.

This is also the reason why the Phantom Thief dared to come to him for cooperation. There was even too much information and he didn't know where to start.

"Then I'll give you the first piece of information. It wasn't Black Sword and Pan Zi who participated in the baptism."

"Guessed, who could it be?"

"The new guy from Pinto."

"This is impossible, the system prompts that he is dead!" As soon as the words fell, Rick jumped out. Even Yue Gong was a little confused. How could the dead be resurrected?

Yuki raised his hand and asked them to calm down. He had seen Pan Zi's abilities and knew that the latter could herd spirit dogs and possess dogs after losing his body. Since it was an ability on the soul side, it made sense that he could drive the dead.

"It's a very useful ability, which was beyond my expectations." Yuki accepted it calmly, causing the Phantom Thief to smile bitterly.

How could it not be useful? He had to take the blame and take the risk to seek out this group of weak parties for support. Fortunately, this Yuki was very wise and did not just shout and kill the "cultists" when he saw them.

The cultists and the inquisitors were cooperating, and when he thought about it, he felt that the game was too absurd.

Having gained the trust of the first piece of information, the Phantom Thief no longer had to hide anything. The second piece of information was equally important, so he directly told the Cultist's hint:

【Tip for believers】

[1. You can become a servant and help the church do things, but you cannot influence the decisions]

[2. Every once in a while, players must please the gods in their own way]

[3. Do not kill players who are also believers]

【4. Try to play a role in the church as much as possible and be valued by God】

[5. Only by being baptized can one become a true believer]

Yuki listened carefully and nodded from time to time. He had already verified the second and third points on Pinto and the Joker, which was enough to prove that there was no hidden agenda involved.

The first one is the thief's method of attacking, no wonder he had the opportunity to go to the factory for an on-site inspection last night; the fifth one is the reason why the thief must escape, and if he stays in the church, he has to accept the risk.

Article 4 is the basis for task evaluation, and its conflict with the judge is irreconcilable.

The Inquisitor wants to kill all the fanatics, while the believers should be taken seriously, which are literally two opposite things.

"What happens if I draw a cultist?"

Yuki fantasized for a moment and soon had the answer:

He will kill all the players, and then make a big noise, using the characters' will to survive to force everyone in Yaduo Town to be baptized, and naturally he will be noticed by the gods.

As for being baptized? Sorry, I can exchange it with the KPI of developing downline. When I return, there will be no heretics in Atour Town. It is absolutely a super high evaluation.

"If you can't complete the fourth item, your mission evaluation will not be high." Yuki reminded, and then carefully observed the other person's eyes.

"It doesn't matter. I didn't intend to complete it. It has nothing to do with you." The young man took a deep breath, his eyes showing obvious disgust. "I saw some things in the church. Those things were too evil. I don't want to bother myself for a few enhancement points. I just need to complete the main quest that I have to do."

Don’t do things that you can do without, and keep things that you have to do simple?

This sentence flashed through Yuki's mind, he glanced at the boy's messy black hair, and asked with interest: "What did you see?"

"They are committing adultery, amassing wealth, and self-harm, wantonly venting their desires. They are more like a group of beasts in human skins." The young man did not want to say much. He felt that as long as the other party had enough experience, they should be able to understand what he was talking about.

Oh? You're playing with contrast, right?

Yuki raised his eyebrows. On the surface, Yaduo Town gave a very good impression. It was quiet, peaceful, and polite. How could it be different from the description given by the young man?

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that there were clues already.

For example, it sounds weird that an old man asked his daughter-in-law to go to the church to receive some blessing. Also, the people here are too obsessed with faith. Those fanatics ignore life and death. Even residents who are not interested in the church are imprisoned in the dungeon and cannot resist or question.

As for the players, the first step to joining the church is to be baptized, which has been confirmed to have supernatural powers; as for the second point, to give one's whole body and mind to the gods, it seems like ulterior motives.

"It sounds like you hate this town?"

"To be precise, it's disgust. I never intended to be a good believer from the beginning. My identity was given in the game, and I can only protect myself." The boy said casually, and saw Yuki raising his hand.

"What a coincidence, me too." Yuki extended his hand for the second time tonight, his eyes filled with eagerness to try, and added with a smile: "Don't worry about the mission evaluation, the Judge and the Cultists have the same goal, and we can also get extremely high rewards in return."

The Inquisitor and the Cultist have the same goal? What is he talking about?

The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, and repeated the hint several times in his mind, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

The other way around? Wait, there's actually such a solution?

He held Yuki's hand a little harder, and his lazy tone had a hint of joy, finally becoming more proactive.

“It’s going to be hard, but I’m looking forward to it.”

Chapter 24: The Advantage is Mine! (4K)

Black Sword's plan was ingenious, but unfortunately Yuki remained patient throughout the whole process. Not only did he fail to lure him out, he also pushed another player who just wanted to get through the dungeon peacefully to the opposite side.

This is what confrontation is like, with all kinds of coincidences, but it is also a win for them. Now they have finally cleared the fog of identity and figured out the composition of the forces of both sides.

On one side are Yuuki, Yue Yumiko, and Rick, and on the other side are Black Sword, Pan Zi, and the entire church. On the surface, it doesn't matter which side the thief stands on.

1000 against 4, the advantage is on me.

Of course, Yuki also won. He confirmed crucial information and the plan in his mind gradually took shape.

It’s a win-win outcome, which is cause for celebration.

"At this point, the instance has entered the confrontation phase."

Yuki raised his head slightly and muttered to himself. Now the situation was clear:

Hei Jian and Pan Zi have to use the power of the church to kill all the players and complete the "Ordinary People" side quest.

If Yuegong and Rick want to survive, based on the information they have now, the mission evaluation will definitely not be low.

The thief just wants to survive the last ten or so hours, so he doesn't care about the mission evaluation anymore.

Yuki stood on the top of the hill, but unfortunately the fog blocked the view and this commanding height could not be used. He could only see that Yaduo Town was still bright, and a ball of fire had turned into a sky full of stars.

A large number of town residents are moving. Are they really being searched?

Yuki watched calmly, and slowly clenched his fists: "And I still want to complete the side quest of 'Judge' and try to break through my own limits."

"If you want to break through the limit, you need to eliminate all the fanatics, which is impossible." The thief thought he had heard it wrong. The fanatics also included church priests. He had clearly told him how powerful and weird they were.

"It can be done. The more fanatics we eliminate, the weaker the evil god becomes. The less power he will bestow, the weaker the invincible church will become."

Yuuki's explanation made sense, but the three players were still confused.

This is the premise, but the residents of the small town are not stupid. Why would they line up to die?

"You want to massacre the whole village?"

"I can't do that. I can only kill fanatics. Killing ordinary people will be punished."

Oh, the game restrictions. Wait, in this case, you can't even kill them, even identifying them is a big problem.

The thief suddenly realized that his perception of this man was wrong. He was not only calm, but also crazy. Was he just looking for a challenge? This was really troublesome.

He lazily rubbed his hair, thinking that the other party's performance was not bad, so he did not ask further questions and analyzed:

"It's two o'clock in the morning now. The rally has been over for five hours, and no pursuers have arrived so far. We can breathe a sigh of relief."

The answer is obvious. If there really was a problem, the enemy should have come to the door long ago. In the final analysis, it was because the two players were not brave enough and did not take the risk.

The second bell should indicate that the baptism has failed. It would be too brave to use the dog's soul to impersonate and be baptized again. Pan Zi must be afraid that the evil god will follow the clues and punish him, so he simply abandons the "doll" in advance.

"Why are you feeling a little relieved? Isn't this safe?" Rick was puzzled. After confirming the thief's position, he was so relaxed that he almost fell asleep.

"Because one of the two baptizers died and the other escaped, the church's dignity has been completely lost, and there will definitely be a reaction." Yue Gong answered for him, looking at Yuki nervously, "And those two players will not let it go, they will definitely add fuel to the fire."

Very clever, just as overwrought as always.

Yuki certainly knew that the church would respond, otherwise why would he ring the bell? However, during the hours of waiting, he had already made all the plans for the next step, so he glanced at the people among the messy tombstones:

"We are all in the same boat. You are all willing to follow my arrangements, right?"

"No problem, Brother Li."

"Let me hear what you want to do first, and then I'll make a judgment."

"I am willing to obey the contract."

Everyone had a different answer. Rick and Yue Gong were convinced, after all, they had safely spent a day and a night with Yuki.

The Phantom Thief became interested. He had originally decided to hide, but now he wanted to see how far this player could go.

The four of them were pretty straightforward people, and since they had decided to tackle the dungeon together, they explained their respective skills and characteristics to each other. Even though they were bound to hold back, they wouldn't tell lies to mislead their teammates.

The Moon Bow is the simplest, and all its abilities are on the bow and arrow, making it a long-range output player.

As a newcomer, Rick is not as evil as Yuuki was back then, and does not have many cards up his sleeve. He has an alienation-level pistol and a feature called "Justice Execution".

The former is not very useful, but the latter is quite interesting. As long as he does what he believes to be righteous, he can endure the negative state. Of course, he is now at level LV.1, so the time and degree are very low.

As Yuuki expected, the Phantom Thief was a very experienced player with the characteristic of "reasoning reconstruction", which indirectly confirmed why he dared to take an unconventional approach and found so much information.

He did not reveal the Chaos Items and attack skills, only saying that there was a Chaos Item of the 'Secret Field' that had been enhanced to the extraordinary level, and in its extreme state it could cover a fixed area of ​​approximately three thousand square meters.

Within the coverage area of ​​the domain, no light, sound, or breath can leak out, and it lasts for three hours.

'A player that focuses on development in all areas.'

Yuki glanced sideways. He didn't believe that the other party didn't have any means of attack, but he didn't ask any further questions as it would seem very impolite.

I have basically achieved self-knowledge, so I have a chance to fight this battle.

Yuki closed his eyes, and it was as if there was a universal synthesizer in his mind, throwing the current situation, dungeon intelligence, and the skills of both enemy and friendly players into it, just like adding color to a black and white painting that already had a prototype, making the whole plan gradually become fuller.

The 'medicinal materials' are placed in front of him, and it all depends on how the doctor prescribes the medicine.

The first step is to prepare for tonight’s search.

The search mode that the enemy will adopt, and the combat strength of each of our players, and which core ability they will focus on.

The second step is to solve the positioning after daybreak.

The third step is to lure the players away and provide me with an opportunity to face the church directly.

Step 4…

No one spoke, and everyone looked at the man in deep thought with various eyes, as if they saw a thoughtful chess player who was sitting in front of the chessboard for a long time without saying a word, until a few minutes later, he raised his hand and grasped a chess piece.

Yuki opened his eyes and said in a calm tone: "The first step, if I am right, the church will search for outsiders and find out the truth."

"Why? Didn't the baptism fail?"

"It is because of the failed baptism that the dignity of the church has been damaged." The Phantom Thief explained for Yuuki and pointed outside, "Don't you think the flickering flames are too dense?"

Rick turned his head and looked, but he couldn't see clearly through the thick fog. He just felt that Yaduo Town was very bright and lively tonight.

"The Phantom Thief's idea is the same as mine, no need to question it." Yuki slowly spoke out his thoughts and held up a finger: "First, let's split up. Rick, you take these two things with you."

Yuki threw out three things, Rick took them and saw that they were a gas mask, a military coat and a chainsaw sword. He was not stupid and immediately understood what he had to do.

"I'll be the bait?"

This is Li Dan's "classic" equipment, with the clown's blood still stained on the chainsaw sword.

"Well, you be the bait. Hide at the edge of the cemetery and go straight back to the town later. If you can't hide anymore, start camouflage. It will be enough to last until noon." Yuki didn't explain too much. Rick's IQ was above average, so he understood what he meant.

The church's search was not just aimed at them. At least tonight, there was no threat from players. Instead, those two people wanted to throw dirty water on them.

Rick thought about it, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then what?"
